If management is willing to commit to a technology because 
"somebody recommended it", you have problems.

Are there any criteria for choosing a db technology?

Is cost a consideration?  ( You think Oracle is expensive?  )

You will get 2 choices for a platform:  NCR and whatever
there OS is, or Windows.

In the long run, what can TeraData do for you that Oracle can't?

Very little I would guess.   Though I haven't used TeraData, I
did once study their docs for the same reason you are asking
about it.  I didn't see anything remarkable there, and a couple
bits of their architecture seemed rather kludgy.
